This antibody is specific for Porcine MHC Class II DR molecules (SLA-II DR). Porcine SLA-II molecules are expressed on all B cells, on antigen presenting cells and on certain subsets of resting and activated T cells.This clone reacts with lymphocytes from all outbred and miniature Pigs so far tested, suggesting that it recognises a monomorphic determinant of Porcine SLA-II DR.This antibody immunoprecipitates a heterodimer composed of two polypeptides of 28 and 35kD from NP-40 extracts of biotin surface-labelled porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
